A New Name for Salt Grammar

In a community ballot a new name was chose for Salt Grammar. From September 2008, the 140th anniversary of the first school being opened in Saltaire, the new name will be Titus Salt School.

This was celebrated with a visit by Denys Salt, the grandson of Titus.

Sue Mansfield, head teacher of Titus Salt School said, "We are delighted to welcome Denys Salt and his family back to the school after an absence of 40 years. Our determination to keep our links with our heritage and history was clearly shown by the overwhelming support for the new school name which recognises the contribution to education made by the Salt family in establishing the first school in Saltaire. Although the building and facilities are brand new there are many things that firmly root Titus Salt School with its past, particularly the emphasis on both pastoral care and high academic standards. Our clear focus remains upon achievement for all this is underscored by the fact that we are celebrating our best ever GCSE results with 68% of students securing 5 or more GCSEs at grades A*-C".
